roisin123 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 why do people fake epiphones when they can use the same material and fake gibsons and get more profit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SketchyEtchy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 They do both. theres a guitar shop near my way that stocks no epi's or Gibs but has a fake Gibson LP you can look at so you can tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SketchyEtchy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well I thought that but I was proved wrong the other day, EE is China, but apprantly they did make fakes with EE but I think on the fakes the EE was out of proportion with th serial number I think (young mind has completly forgot lol) (if any one reads with experience correct me if Im wrong) When you get it use this website http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx and the forum page link I sent to check your serial. If you get stuck again just post up a new topic about serial numbers someone will or pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
